Abstract
A stand is provided to carry a pressure roller in horizontal engagement with a longitudinal surface of a raceway about a large rotating kiln or other drum, the roller being displaceable in a longitudinal direction to force the raceway to oscillate across its radial support rollers, thereby to increase the life of the raceway under wear from concentrated mechanical support stresses. An hydraulic cylinder selectively displaces the roller by acting on a frame on or in which the pressure roller is carried.
Claims15
A pressure roller stand for forcing longitudinal displacement of a heavy industrial drum, the drum being rotatable via an annular raceway thereabout and said raceway having a longitudinally-facing surface, said roller stand being mounted on a foundation adjacent said surface of said annular raceway and beneath said drum, and carrying adjustable drive means thereon, and being characterized by:
- a frame slidable along a frame axis within said stand with respect to said foundation;
- a pressure roller carried rotatably in said frame in a plane of rotation which includes said frame axis and having a peripheral pressure surface engageable with said raceway longitudinal surface for rotation therewith transversely to said frame axis;
- and
- the drive means selectively applying a displacement force between said foundation and the pressure roller substantially in a plane of rotation thereof and through said slidable frame along said frame axis,
- thereby to afford longitudinal displacement of said heavy drum with substantially no bending moment applied to said frame.
A pressure roller stand with a drive means for forcing longitudinal displacement of a heavy industrial drum rotating on annular raceways adjacent a foundation, comprising:
- a pressure roller rotatable on an axis transverse to the axis of said heavy drum for engagement with an axially facing surface on one of said annular raceways of the drum;
- and
- a drive means connected to said pressure roller for applying a force thereto transverse of its axis of rotation forcing said roller against the raceway, said drive means connected to the roller to apply a force transverse of the roller axis and through the axial center of its axis and in alignment with the reaction force between the roller and raceway so that lateral force couples are absent which would create wear on the roller, and wherein said drive means is connected to the pressure roller by a displaceable ring central to said pressure roller and on which said pressure roller rotates.
